Vivek Ramaswamy pulls a twist. At its height Buzzfeed was a highly gender affirmative and activist outlet, exceptionally popular, producing large amounts of drag/TQ content. This 👇was in 2015 by @PatrickStrud.

It also played a part in the silencing of BBC women on the issue 🧵 Image
Image Three weeks after that piece was published, Buzzfeed took on Stuart Millar as its UK News Editor. He came from the Guardian, and was eventually to move on the BBC.

@telegraph on plans to manage ‘misogyny’, this time through extremism policy



Does any part of the media understand the problem of action against ‘misogyny’ when activists across the justice system believe that ‘women’ does not mean ‘female’?

Maggie Blyth, for example, was national lead for violence and girls when police chiefs recommended that women who object to being strip-searched by a trans-identified male could be recorded as committing a hate incident.

‘Currently, there is no unified position in sport towards transgender inclusion’

Transgender isn’t a synonym for male. Editors must start saying ‘male trans’ or ‘male in the female category’

Your audience shouldn’t be forced into second guessing. bbc.com/sport/articles… Described as ‘inclusion’ throughout.

@bbcsport

There is selective bias in the word ‘inclusion’. You are selecting out the exclusion of women.

‘World Athletics has banned transgender women’

Time to revisit the Style Guide. It’s misleading. They are no kind of woman.

The number of trans-identified men used as contributors on apparently random BBC stories has generated interest.

The BBC has its own contacts database but one resource it uses for stories/contributors is a company called NEON.
>
neweconomyorganisers.org NEON is the New Economy Organisers Network - consultants who ‘help social justice movements win’.

It routinely emails journalists, including lots of BBC journalists, offering story ideas and interviewees.

They also offer media training.

‘What are the parties saying about women's rights and gender identity? - BBC News’

Overnight piece from ⁦⁦@Eleanor_Lawrie⁩

She’s a senior social affairs correspondent, not politics so there should be expertise within.

1/ bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… Reporters don’t write headlines. ‘Gender identity’ is highly contested and should always have ‘’ or some other caveat.

Framing is fair though ‘single-sex’ has been replaced by ‘women-only’.

It *could* be for ease of understanding but the BBC is generally affirmative. 2/ Image

About BBC Health: this may shock.

A concerned member of the public sent the WPATH FILES release to Fergus Walsh, the BBC’s Medical Editor on 11th March 2024. Because nothing was reported by BBC Health, they followed that email 6 days later with a second email containing /1 /2 headlines of an interview with the author of the WPATH report, Mia Hughes @_CryMiaRiver including points about medics taking advice from non-medic transactivsts; no follow-up on castrations and blanket ‘gender affirming care’ approach, despite clear evidence of harms.

Remarkable day of crowd-sourced journalism after @timeslucy’s piece was published in The Times on the role of Baroness Hunt and Stonewall. Hundreds of people have shared receipts on social media - evidence rather than claims or opinion. Here’s the piece (archive) as it’s shifted from the original link
